This week CNN's Don Lemon and the odious Rick Wilson laughed about how stupid Trump supporters are to believe that the president is smarter than the elitists, in which apparently they include themselves.
Reason's Jim Lundgren responded with an analysis that shows Trump supporters are actually smarter than their opponents.
On the verbal ability test not surprisingly the median number of vocabulary questions correct was the same for both Clinton and Trump supporters [snip] The mean verbal ability score for Trump supporters was 6.15 words correct, while the mean verbal ability score for Clinton supporters was 5.69 correct, a difference of nearly half a question on a 10-question test.
Further, Trump supporters score significantly higher on verbal ability than the rest of the public combined whereas Clinton supporters score significantly lower on verbal ability than the rest of the public combined.
The best evidence we have suggests that, compared to the general public, Trump supporters score significantly better than the rest of the public - and Clinton supporters score significantly worse - on a standard verbal ability test.
Trump supporters score significantly better on most science knowledge questions than Clinton supporters or the general public.
Not one of the questions I examined here supports the idea that Trump supporters are significantly less knowledgeable than Clinton supporters, and some of them point to small or moderate differences in the opposite direction.
